On My Many Years On This Site

[nailedit]

I have been called a drunk, a criminal, a looney, a pr1ck, an idiot, a criminal, an attention seeker,
a psychotic, a depressive, a head case, etc.

Maybe I'm just an effing human being just like you......

[nailedit]

I forgot, I'm an addict as well...

[Bobbisox1]

Nailed it, please don’t get angry,lots of people here like you and listen to you and try to offer advice, getting called off people you’re never likely to meet anyway , is water off a ducks back

[Old_Geezer]

Just pick the names you're happy with, and laugh at the rest. Our time here is too short to be wasted letting such things control us.

[bednobs]

people only know what you have told them about you.
bearing in mind you have told us you have been in prison, psychiatric hospital and you post regularly about committing suicide, and given the fact you could pick a fight with a bunny when you've had a few, i'd say the monikers are accurate

[pastafreak]

Just labels nailedit. Labels make some people feel superior.
It's you, the man, that matters.

[Peter Pedant]

There is a possibility a lot of us have identified:

this is a property of AB and nothing to do with you

[Peter Pedant]

Our time here is too short to be wasted for such things.
how true
how true

//bearing in mind you have told us you have been in prison, psychiatric hospital and you post regularly about committing suicide//

My last post was about wet feet. I don't think that I post regularly about suicide.
But does any post about suicide warrent abuse?
Does any post of mine, posted when I have been in a psych ward,
warrent subsequent labels as such as pr1ck, looney, or idiot?
Ive not been in jail now for over 20 yrs.
Does that warrant still been called a criminal?
When does it all end?

Nail it, you are what you are, but have many friends on this site.

[bednobs]

werent you found guilty in court of something just last week? = criminal?
didnt you post a few weeks ago about how much you were drinking in a day = a drunk
had an episode for which you have recently been hospitalised = psychotic
talk about killing yourself quite a lot = depresive
i don't understand why you object to those names, when people only call you them (although i cant say i have seen it;only support!) because it's what you tell us

[bednobs]

and by the way, people also say LOADS of nice things about you!

[lankeela]

Didn't Oscar Wilde say there is only one thing worse than being talked about and that is not being talked about (apologies if that's not quite 100% accurate).

Think of them as terms of affection - (and I did call you mate the other day).

[nailedit]

Just found out tht my names in the local rag again,
Can do withoutht this *** afgain.
For gods sakes leave me alone///

[nailedit]

I c ant do it anymoree...]

I am sure I have said somewhere along the line that I think you're doing great, I admired the work you were doing, I recognised your battles with drink and were happy when you were winning and commiserating when you weren't.
I know I have tried to give you encouragement when you've been very low.
I know many others here have done the same. If you are going to pick and choose the comments aimed at you, try to pick the positives and ignore the negatives.

[Peter Pedant]

Barry if you are a mod
you cd usefully terminate some of bedknobs more stupid comments

[Buenchico]

You've also been called one of the most intelligent people on this site, Nailedit, (by me).

I greatly admire your ability to engage in intelligent debate and ask incisive questions (particularly in R&S but elsewhere as well).

Barry's advice about being selective over the comments that you choose to take on board is excellent.

[nailedit]

AH
BLLOCKS TO IT ALL!
Thanks....

If the cap doesn't fit, don't wear it.
